Cowboy Butter Swim Biscuits are rich, buttery, and perfectly soft on the inside with crispy, golden edges. Made with a simple dough that “swims” in butter, these biscuits are packed with a savory cowboy butter flavor, making them perfect for breakfast or as a side to soups, stews, or chili.

Ingredients

Scale

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

For the cowboy butter:

  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh parsley, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish in the oven to warm.
  2. Prepare the cowboy butter:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix the biscuit dough:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    • Gradually stir in the buttermilk until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  4. Assemble the biscuits:
    • Remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour in the prepared cowboy butter, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom.
    • Scoop the biscuit dough into the dish, using a spoon or your hands to divide it into 9 roughly equal portions. They will spread and bake together.
  5. Bake the biscuits:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with extra cowboy butter for dipping or as a side to your favorite dish.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the cowboy butter.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
